running for municipal council:

Video Series – Four pre-recorded videos that break down the guide content
into shorter video clips by topic.

contains a QR code that the public can use to go to saskatchewan.ca to find resources.
Municipalities are encouraged to communicate the availability of
these resources to the public, such as:
- Displaying the poster in the
municipal office and/or public spaces frequented by your citizens;
- Print some copies of the poster
and/or guide to have available in the office;

municipality’s website; and
